I threw that in in case anyone who was interested didn't know about my sources (one for Quiller- Couch and another for Millett). Interesting that at some stage the name became double-barrelled, with hyphen. Perhaps Arthur thought that looked better with the "Sir", which he got in 1910, i.e. well before he published his second anthology. The hyphen appears also on a memorial to him in Truro Cathedral, with the OUP shield in its top-left corner and its motto "Dominus illuminatio mea" at its foot. I have read virtually nothing of his own but I do have a copy of his "Oxford Book of English Prose", a sort of companion volume to the "Oxford Book of English Verse, 1250-1900", which was later extended to 1918. This second anthology was published in 1926, and in the preface and acknowledgements he signs himself "A. Q-C." It was given to me by Jessie Kilburn Haarhoff (nee Davis), who was married to my mother's cousin Theodore Johannes Haarhoff, an eminent classicist who was Professor of Classics at the University of the Witwatersrand, in Johannesburg, for many years; their elder son has lived in Blackburn, Victoria, for many years but is now in residential care as he has Alzheimers. Despite his classicist father, he was an electrical engineer who worked for many years first for ESCOM in South Africa and then the State Electricity Commission in Victoria Andrew Rodger rodgera@audioio.com

Could this last be a relation of Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, the well- known author who wrote under the name of Q? He was born in Bodmin in 1863, and his literary heritage seems to have been on the Couch side: his father, Dr. Thomas Quiller Couch (d. 1884), was a noted physician, folklorist and historian and his grandfather, Jonathan Couch, was an eminent naturalist, and also a physician, historian, classicist, apothecary, and illustrator (particularly of fish) in the style of the time.

Just to explain; the Indians living in the Northwestern Territories weren't accustomed to fighting, although some tribes tried; they were hunters/gatherers, who relied on the natural world for sustenance. Evidently, the term "Oregonian Indian Wars" has been applied to a series of confrontations, which resulted in the Indians losing everything. (Some through shameful "treaty" negotiations, which promised much but delivered nothing.) I should point out that the Governor of Minnesota at this time also made the statement "The only good Indian is a Dead Indian", as reported in the local newspaper. ................................................... In 1851- 1852, packers on the trail to California discovered the placer mines of southwestern Oregon. Within weeks a reckless population, most of them hardened miners from California, surged over the Siskiyous or stepped off the gangplanks of ships putting in at Crescent City, Port Orford, Umpqua City, or Scottsburg. The rush was on. It meant quick riches for those who found the right pothole in bedrock filled with nuggets or the fortunate miners whose riffle boxes captured the fine particles of gold that glistened in the black sand. For the Indians of the Rogue River country it meant that all they had known and their very lives were at stake. The causes of conflict erupted everywhere. The Donation Land Act became law in 1850. Years passed before treaties, negotiated in 1853 and 1854, were ratified. Some, such as those of Anson Dart or the Willamette Valley Treaty Commission of 1851, never gained Senate approval. In spite of the promises of superintendents of Indian affairs Dart and Palmer, the white people poured in. Dispossession ruled. The miners drove the Takelma, Shasta, Chetco, Shasta Costa, Mikonotunne, Tututni, Galice Creeks and Cow Creeks from their villages. Located on old stream terraces, the Indian homes were prime locations for placer deposits. The hungry newcomers hunted the game, decimating the deer and elk populations. The Territorial Legislature in 1854 prohibited sale of ammunition or guns to Indians, deepening their disadvantage. The miners and residents of Jacksonville, Canyonville, Kerbyville, and Gold Beach liked bacon and ham. They let hogs run wild, catching them in baited traps. The hogs ate the acorns, a primary subsistence food for the Indians. Some whites banded together in the mid-1850s as "exterminators" to kill Native Americans in southern Oregon. This included aggression against Takelma Indians camped near Lower Table Rock, shown above. (Oregon State Archives Photo No. jacD0042) Mining debris poured down the Illinois, Rogue, South Coquille and South Umpqua Rivers. The salmon runs diminished; the eels died. Crayfish, fresh water mussels and trout choked on the flood of mud. Starvation threatened. The claimants of Donation Lands fenced their fields with split-rail fences and built log cabins. They worked with a will to stop Indian field burning. The Indian women found it impossible to harvest tarweed seeds and the blackberries that formerly regenerated with the annual fires did not grow back. The settlers turned under the fields of camas lilies, and their cattle and horses grazed off the blue-flowering plants. The mining districts--whether in the Rogue River country or the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon--caused major ecological disruption. The rush for quick wealth through mineral exploitation unraveled nature's ways and long-established human subsistence activities. Then came the "exterminators"--unprincipled men who believed only dead Indians were good Indians. They formed volunteer companies and perpetrated massacres against the Chetco Indians in 1853, the Lower Coquille Indians in 1854, and in wanton aggression against Takelma Indians camped near the Table Rock Reservation in 1855. Frederick M. Smith, sub-Indian agent at Port Orford, in 1854 addressed the attacks on the Indians in his district. They were ravaged by hunger, dispossession of their villages, onset of new and fatal diseases, and overt murders. Reporting the massacre of the Lower Coquille Indians, he wrote: "Bold, brave, courageous men! to attack a friendly and defenceless tribe of Indians; to burn, roast, and shoot sixteen of their number, and all on suspicion that they were about to rise and drive from their country three hundred white men!" Smith's lament, the mourning cries of the Indian women, the death rituals of rubbing the hair with pitch, and the inexorable course of hunger, attack, and death precipitated the conflicts known as the Rogue River Wars. The troubles seethed between 1852 and 1856. Finally the U.S. Army had sufficient forces to mount a campaign in 1855-56 to destroy the Indians' ability to resist. Joel Palmer negotiated treaties in 1855 with Native Americans living in eastern Oregon. Learn more about Palmer. Vanquished by the combined operations of the Oregon Volunteers and Army regulars, the Indians of the Rogue and Umpqua Valleys and the southwestern Oregon coast were then removed to the Siletz and Grand Ronde reservations. Forced marches through winter snows or over the rocky headlands and through the sand dunes of coastal Oregon became trails of tears for hundreds driven to the distant reservations. Other survivors were herded aboard the Columbia, a sidewheel steamer, which removed them from Port Orford to the Columbia and lower Willamette River area. Then they had to walk the muddy trail to the reservations. The myth of independence was shattered by the actions of Oregon's frontier residents. For their "services rendered" in the conflicts of 1853, the volunteers billed the federal government for $107,287, and they were the primary cause of the hostilities. When the conflicts ended in 1856, they worked for years to gain settlement. Finally in 1890 Congress passed the Oregon Indian Depredation Claims Act. Aged pioneers filed affidavits to claim reimbursement for lost pillows, ricks of hay, rail fences, and beans and bacon during the conflicts of the 1850s. A dependent generation's elders once again tapped the federal treasury for support. - taken from The Oregon Blue Book website -

Hi Andrew, Jonathan COUCH and Jane QUILLER married in Lansallos (one of the two parishes in which Polperro was situated) in 1815. At least three of their children were baptised there: Richard Quiller (1816), Margaret Quiller (1817) and John Quiller (1819). They are all on the 1841 census on Lansallos Street, Polperro, by which time Richard was a 25-29 year old surgeon apothecary like his father. John the younger was noted as Jonathan, and there were two younger children: Thomas and John. By 1851, the family was still in Polperro. Sons Thomas (24) and John Q (20) were medical students and son Jonathan (30) was a surgeon. Son Richard Quiller (34) was a surgeon lodging in Chapel Street, Madron Penzance. So, if Arthur Quiller COUCH was the son of Thomas, that would make Richard Quiller COUCH his uncle.

Well then wife beaters will always be wife beaters, beer sellers will be beer sellers, robbers will be robbers and cricketers will be cricketers, won't they? Plus ca change? Brian of Yass near Canberra, NSW Australia. -----Original Message----- From: cornish-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cornish-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of isabelj@talktalk.net Sent: Tuesday, 31 July 2012 4:32 AM To: cornish@rootsweb.com Cc: cornish-gen@rootsweb.com Subject: [CORNISH] West Briton Weekly News 27th June, 1856 News Part 2. . A WARNING TO WIFE BEATERS - On Friday last, WILLIAM DUNSTONE, a broom-maker, at Penzance, was charged before the Mayor and Mr. BATTEN, magistrate, with ill-using his wife. On Thursday night, at eleven o'clock, the screams of a woman were head at Marine Terrace and Chyandour Cliff, which proceeded from JANE DUNSTONE, who lives at Causeway Head. Her husband had struck her violently on the back, and then grasped her by the throat, when she was rescued by police constable HILL. She has been the mother of eleven children, who all died young, and it is stated that Dunstone has frequently struck her to the ground and greatly ill-used her. For his savage brutality, he was committed to the borough gaol for one month. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT - On Monday last, the Redruth cricket club went to St. Columb to play a match with the club at that town, in which they came off the victors. They returned late at night, in a four-horse omnibus, and entered Truro about midnight, shouting, and making a great noise. The omnibus stopped at the Royal Hotel, to feed the horses, and during their stay in the town, either some of the members of the club, or persons who accompanied them, behaved in a disorderly manner in the streets; in consequence of which they were remonstrated with by Mr. NASH, police superintendent, and told that if they did not conduct themselves better, they would be locked up on the station-house. After this, they remained tolerably quiet until the departure of the omnibus, about a quarter before one in the morning. There were about eighteen or twenty, some riding on the top of the omnibus and others inside; and as they proceeded through Daniell Street, some of the parties conducted themselves in a most discreditable manner, by throwing things into the windows. They broke in this way the bed-room windows of eleven houses, by throwing in ornamental shells and a small image, such as are placed on mantel-pieces, pence and half-pence, a small lump of lead ore, &c. The fragments of glass were knocked all over the beds, and the lead ore fell very near a sleeping infant. In another part of the street they tried to break down the sign of Mr. UREN, painter, with some branches of trees they carried on the top of the omnibus. The inhabitants of the small horses in that street, who are mostly poor labouring men, could not get down to avenge themselves for this wilful damage of their property, until the omnibus had gone beyond their reach; but on Wednesday last they applied to the magistrates, and in consequence Mr. Nash went to Redruth, and summoned eight of the delinquents to answer for their misconduct before the magistrates at Truro on Saturday next. TRURO POLICE - On Wednesday last, ELISHA RANDLE, beershop keeper, Kenwyn Street, was summoned before the magistrates for having his house open for the sale of beer, on Saturday night last, at twenty-five minutes to twelve o'clock, when he ought to have closed at eleven. He pleaded guilty, and it being his first offence, he was cautioned by the magistrates, and the case was dismissed on paying expenses. CHARGE OF ASSAULT AND ROBBERY - On the 16th inst., WILLIAM ROBINS, a mason, was charged before Mr. CHILDS, Mayor of Liskeard, and Messrs. ANSTIS and JONES, borough magistrates, with robbing and assaulting JOHN STEED, on Saturday the 7th inst., at Moorswater. Steed and his brother were leaving the inn at Moorswater, when they were followed and knocked down by the prisoner, who beat John Steed when on the ground. Steed's brother stated that after being knocked down, he crawled away on his hands and knees, fearing what the prisoner, and some men who were with him, might do to him. He afterwards returned and found his brother lying on the ground insensible, and almost all his money gone. It appeared that John Steed had received some violent blows on the head, and was in a precarious condition. There was conflicting evidence, however, in the case, and the magistrates considered there was no proof of robbery, but they committed the prisoner for trial at the quarter sessions for the assault. DARING ROBBERY - On Saturday morning, the 14th instant, about two o'clock the house of Mr. ROBERT KEAST, of Trevaul, St. Neot was broken into, and a box stolen which contained silver teaspoons, three silver watches, a five pound note, silver and copper coins, notes of hand, and other articles. The old man and his niece were alone in the house. The men who entered had their faces covered; one of them held Mr. Keast, another held his niece; and the third walked off with the box. NARROW ESCAPE FROM SHIPWRECK - The "Germania," from Cork to Weymouth, with the 1st Devon Militia on board, after remaining off the Land's End in a thick fog for twenty consecutive hours, ignorant of her exact position, suddenly, on the afternoon of the 13th, found herself on the rocks at Sennen Cove, Land's End, and was in imminent danger of being lost with her freight of ------------------------------- Subscribe to digest by sending an email to CORNISH-D-request@rootsweb.com with the word SUBSCRIBE in the subject line and body text.
